Comics: Adventure Comics #1

I have to wait until Saturday before I can get my hands on a physical copy, but can I say based on what's been posted to Scans Daily 2.0 that I'm disappointed. More angst! More Lex-induced angst! Damnit.

I don't know about you, but if I were a teenage boy who came back to life after years of stasis I would be out on the world getting it on. Eating through troughs of custard, surfing the greatest waves, macking on the chicks whilst partying in Ibiza. NOT hanging out in Smallville.

The saving grace in these Superboy-related scans is Francis Manapul's art, and how similar yet distinct Superboy and Superman look. Tell me that the blue eyes the two men share doesn't seem a little otherworldly and eerie in the dark.

Anyway, pick up a copy okay? I'd rather not have to deal with this book tanking and having to lose Kon again. And if he isn't your cuppa, won't you please think of Starman?




That's right, it's a Legion backup in every issue of Adventure Comics /glee

It's probably the ever-present slash goggles, but this issue totally looks like Kon wants to get his two daddies together.
